<p class="text-gray-700">Billington is a long and athletic guard, which I call the base, and one of the profiles I love to evaluate. She created her shot under pressure, and she also created spacing to get it off and drop it. Her "stop and pop" jumper was nice, she scored off the dribble, and played the passing lane</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brown did some things that had me thinking "I feel good" like watching her elevate on her jumper and release, it was smooth and fluid, but she too showed the "stop and pop" in transition. Her slight HEZ got the defender off balance, so she could score off the dribble, and her court vision was solid</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Martinez falls into that #sizedontmatter group I've been hashtagging for nearly a score, that's 20 years, and not only did she show me she could score, her "catch and shoot" jumper looked good, so did her scoring off the dribble using a deceptive first step. Her court vision was solid, so was her defense, and she played the passing lane</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bankett impressed me at the PGH Freshman Showcase, and I mentioned I loved how she uses her athleticism on both ends, as well as her ability to create her shot <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jada-bankett/">see evalaution here</a>,</em></strong> so fast forward to now, her ability to drop it under pressure from deep looked good, her catch and shoot has gotten even better, as well as her court vision. She also finished strongly off the dribble after contact </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jackson crossed the state line for a reason, and her intensity on defense grabbed my attention immediately. Speaking of grabbing, she understands positioning and grabbed rebounds over taller players, even went coast to coast to score or dish. Her court vision across the board was solid; she even blocked some shots, which tells you what type of timing she has</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Traylor had me use the search bar, which I advise readers to do, but I don't do it just to see how on point I am, well, actually I do, so this is from 2022 at Prime Time Nationals <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/08/not-from-texas-standouts-6th-grade-nbc22/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> . Everything I said was consistent, but she's also "long and athletic" and her powerful finishes after contact showed how strong she is<strong>,</strong> but her crossover <strong>JUST DID IT</strong> for me</p>
